Baker Mayfield
-
KNR had a moral victory session today.
They went through the list of teams the Browns were better than. We are better than 22 teams....supposedly.
We're better than JAX, NE, Jets, Mia, Bengals, Colts, Den, Dal, Wash, Phi, Giants, Atl, Hou, Ari, Car, Det, SF, and 5 more..
We were never this good so I'll take it.

Baker was not my first pick...Josh Allen was. He reminded me of Testeverde, who was a bust until he had the right coaching. Mayfield is our QB, and I'm not ready to give up on him. He's never going to be Aaron Rodgers, but when he is playing with confidence, he can be more than adequate to win games. As for yesterday...he sucked. He should not have been playing...especially against the Squealers. Personally, I think his confidence was severely damaged last season, and he is still not fully recovered. He may never be the same player we saw at the end of 2018. I'm not trying to make excuses, but the team needs stability at the qb position. I think we have the right coach....even though he had a bad day yesterday, so I'm not ready to bench Mayfield in favor of Case Keenum...yet. However, with the injured ribs, I think I would have strongly considered starting Keenum yesterday.

Testicle was pure CACA!... Puhleeze!... Testicle was legally color blind and often threw it to the other team,.. No thanks... Vinny sucked ass leakage...

for the browns to take the next step. The next step being rising to the top of the division, or at least alongside the top of the division with the steelers and Ravens. Right now the steelers and the ravens rightfully consider themselves rivals to each other and measure their success against each other. We are not part of that equation right now, and the steelers do not consider us relevant or a rival to them. The question is can they get there, and how do they get to that point.
So let's start with one key point- This is a passing league, has been for a long time, and the only way a team is going to get to the top of the mountain is with an uber efficient and successful passing game and/or an atypical running game(like Baltimore has founded on the qb running) which complements a successful passing attack(like Baltimore has). A team isn't going to have traditional running back handoffs as a foundation of offensive success in 2020, so let's throw that nonsense out right now.
So given that the browns have to throw the ball a bunch successfully to be successful against upper end competition, how do they get there? The reality is baker just has to play better.....but the browns could help him by using fewer 1st and 2nd down plays to run the ball.
In a hypothetical situation where a team has the league's worst qb, marginal recievers, and the league's best traditional running game(again to remove a team like baltimore from the equation).....throwing the football on first and second down is *still* going to be more efficient than running the ball. That's just the way it is. The likely 'break even point* for when running the ball on 1st and 2nd down equals the efficiency of the passing game would likely be 7.4-7.5 yards per carry when you consider the downsides of running(more holding penalties, fewer chunk plays leading directly to points) against the positives(eliminating the interception risk). Obviously no team is going to average 7 and a half yards per carry, but the other side of this is the browns don't have the league's worst qbs and certainly don't have marginal recievers.
So if the browns are going to take the next step, they are going to do so throwing the football a lot better than they are doing now.
One way to increase the odds of doing that is fewer runs on 1st and 2nd down.....time and time again when baker struggles and the browns get thumped, when you go back and look at the game log on offense we see handoffs to the running backs which set up 2nd and 3rd and log. Converting more of those less efficient runs into first and second down play action passing is going to put Baker in a better situation....
and remember, running the football successfully *DOES NOT* set up play action pass. This has been disproven in that we now know that play action passing is successful completely independently of running the football.

First, Anyone that played or plays football and/or studied or studies football understands that Running the ball successfully DOES set up play action passing. I don’t even want to bother explaining it further- first for me because I love talking football.
Secondly, the throw oriented offense yesterday set up 2nd and 10 or worse yet 2nd and 14 after a sack. So I’d suggest in situations where the defense is pass rushing heavily and living in your backfield- It’s time to neutralize the blitz by running the ball. Definitely not slow developing passes either as Romo astutely pointed out. Last night, we saw the best player in football Aaron Donald neutralized by somewhat the same scheme we are trying to run. I heard a comment by one of analysts trying to cover for Donald because they hyped him so much- about the Niner offense keeping him off balance when they did throw because of the run.
We agree on one thing. Overall, I don’t disagree that Baker needs to do better.

How did you conclude that? Two years ago, the Rams had a running game and made the SB. Last year the 9ers had a running game and made it. Those teams could pass because the rush made Ds bring up the safeties. Your better team throw under 30 x a game, usually if you are throwing 40 plus, you lose. Big Ben threw a mere 22 x and put up 38 and it could have been worse. 22. That's how Pitt wins. Rushing does matter for most teams. It's just that when you do throw, you need a QB who hits 65% or better. Can Baker do that?

Whats more frustrating is.... We have two pro bowl receivers who are making a case to go to Canton And then I think of all the passes Marino tossed to Duper and Clayton... and still didnt win a sausage,,

Danny didn't win a sausage but they had almost all winning records, always in the playoffs. From '83 to '99, the Fins had a total of one losing season with Marino. ONE. And had some 14-2, 12-4 type season along the way. I don't need to tell you Browns fans would kill for that kind of stretch. 166 years and only one losing season, and that might have been the year Dan was out. True, they only made it to one Show in that span, and didn't win, bt that's still quite impressive.

Niners
Titans
Rams

Window dressing aside pre-snap with run fit changes and such... You're absolutely dead wrong.
You're late though, I expected you to have this thread made by 6pm yesterday.
I'm still waiting on answers to my questions I proposed in your last thread. Then, as expected, you went MIA until the Browns lost. Nearly an entire month.
Pathetically fucking predictable.
You're not a Browns fan, you're a troll who can't answer questions with your own football I.Q. without standing on the shoulders of others. And you STILL can't give high level explanations on exactly what this team needs to do concept wise to ease Bakers passing struggles.

No, this has NOT been disproven. It is game-dependent theory. I've even shown depth of linebacker drop comparing side-by sides of the Niners and your precious Chiefs in last years Superbowl.

its simple, the browns are not as physical a team as the ravens and steelers....its been that way since the return....too much soft play....we now have the weapons....for the most part....i am not sold on mayfield so far.....but shit, we need more physicality.....we got pushed around all over the field yesterday...it was pathetic....and you are correct...this is still no rivalry ....its baltimore and the steelers...its been the rivalry for 20 some yrs now....

Vag the Magnanimous?
I'll take it... as you have a right to a different attytude...
Agree with your props to Baker for playing hurt, but my concerns go deeper. Somewhere along the line he's lost his edge... his fire... the chip on his shoulder.
I wrote this minutes ago in another thread in reply to OBJ leading a little sideline gathering...
This isn't going to be popular but ill say it... The antics Baker has shown previously - the flag plant, the slashing, the shit talk then silence into near cowering. That's shit fake tough guys do.
Some will read this and be mad, real ones will read it and go "damn, you're right"
It's easy to be loud when things are right or at minimum even. When they aren't? That's when bravado should give way to grit. Baker might not have the latter.

You beat me to this.
It isn't that Baker might lose games to the Pittsburghs of the world - its the fact that most times he doesn't even look like he should be on the field with them.
I'm seriously asking this to everyone - do you think Pittsburgh or Baltimore is at all scared to play Baker Mayfield? Do you think defensive players on either teams lose one minute of sleep the week leading up to playing against Baker Mayfield? I do not. Baker Mayfield, with OBJ and Jarvis and Hooper and a good OLine and Chubb and Hunt and I still do not think Mayfield scares any good teams one iota. This is the #1 overall pick who is in his third season.

Well Baker and the Browns scored 40pts in a win in Baltimore last year ?

We have the worst QB in the division. This shouldn't be.
Burrows is better than Baker already?

Absolutely.

I watched the game as well. How anyone can think Josh Allen is a better QB than Mayfield is beyond me.
Mahomes probably is though ?

That game is looking more and more like an aberration.
But I will give that one to you. Mayfield threw for 342 yards on 20/30 passing, 1 touchdown and 1 interception.
I still contend that neither the Steelers or Ravens fear Mayfield in the least.
What about Mayfield would make them fear him? His mediocre arm? His so-so accuracy? His ability to read a defense? His athletic prowess?
